Wisdom Teeth!!!!?

I have to get my wisdom teeth cut out next week, my dentist said they are bone impacted so im going to a specialist. He is going to put me to sleep, i am scared to death and i dont know what to expect the first few days after i have it done. Has anyone went through the same thing?

Wisdom Teeth!!!!?
Don't worry about it. It might seem scary at first, but once it's over, it's kind of like having a cold for a few days. The surgery part is cake, they just put you to sleep, and you wake up 3 seconds later done. You'll feel groggy, go home, lay down, and wake up later fine. They give you lots of meds for pain, so don't worry about that. Eating sucks for a while, you have to be careful cause it can get annoying.


Just watch movies, eat jello, and enjoy laying around. But seriously, don't worry about it. My were impacted also and had to be busted out. It's all easy.
Reply:You'll be sore in your mouth for a few days. I went to a specialist, and was "knocked out" as well. When I woke up, the teeth were gone and I was in a "recovery" room. Make sure you have someone to drive you home (depending on your age) and someone to make sure you do okay with household stuff in the evening.

p.s. Don't worry - it's a common procedure! Don't be too nervous about it.
Reply:It hurts. Make sure you have some straws and your favorite beverages/soups. He will probably give you antibiotics and pain medication. It will still hurt, but you will survive. Most people do.
Reply:yep. Plan on being in pain. You won't be allowed to drink from a straw and chewing will not be an option. I ate a LOT of KFC mashed potatoes and gravy, jello and pudding.
Reply:You'll be in pain and feel like crap, but you get to eat ice cream and pudding for a couple of days. Do not eat anything like noodles or oatmeal or anything that get inside where you had them removed. This can lead to a dry socket that is a hell of a lot worse than getting the teeth removed. Do not drink through a straw for a couple of weeks. The pressure of sucking through a straw is painful. Just be sure to take a 3 -4 days off work/school, take plenty of pain pills, and just take it easy and rest.
Reply:Please don't worry about this. I am a dentist and had all 4 wisdom teeth taken out under sedation. It is absolutely not a big deal. The sedation also contains an anti-inflamitory to promote quick healing. Take the pain meds and plan on not doing anything for 2 days, but you should be fine after a day or so. I was at a Couting Crows concert the next day. If you are young you will heal fast too and it will prevent so many problems/pains down the road. Have a wonderful surgery!!
Reply:I've had all 4 surgically removed at the same time. Not too big a deal. It will be painful and sore at first, just enjoy resting on your pain meds. Beware about sucking too hard, smoking, etc. I did get a dry socket in one of them (from smoking) and that makes the pain last longer. If you should have pain longer than the doc says, make sure to call him to check it out.


Good luck!
Reply:I had this done 8 years ago. It was great!! Te drugs they give you make you happy and forgetful. Make sure someone goes with you to listen to the surgeon's instructions because you will be out of it. My mom told me I kept repeating the same thing every five minutes. Pain is not bad during recovery, and nonexistent the first few hours.
